The keys to the perfect homemade cake

Ideally, all ingredients are at room temperature: that’s why take out those that are in the fridge a while before.
Moldmust be of a suitable size; if it is very small, the cake will rise a lot and it will sink or it will not do well inside; and if it is very large, it is likely that it will remain flat and drier. It is always advisable to line them with baking paper before adding the dough.
Before startingpreheat the ovenat the temperature indicated in the recipe for 10 minutes (heat up and down, much better if it is with a fan because it will distribute the heat evenly). Always place the cake on the middle level of the oven.never open the oven doorduring the first 20 minutes, and if you can, do not open it during the entire baking time. If you open the oven door too early, the heat will disperse andthe cake will come down.
Before using theflouryou have to sift it, that is, pass it through a strainer to eliminate lumps. The same goes for cocoa and yeast.
Beat the eggs wellwith the sugar until they clear up and the grains of sugar are no longer noticeable. It is important for the cake is fluffy. It is better to use a stick mixer, which incorporates a lot of air into the mixture.
You may know that thecake is ready if, when pierced in the center with a skewer toothpick, it comes out clean. If you see that the cake is alreadygolden on the outside but not done yetyou can cover it with baking paper to prevent the crust from burning.
